2020/21 Co-Ord Round-up Part Six - 9th-12th

9th: Cheese Makers (up one place on last year)

Ninth is an improvement from Matthew on last year but he’d have loved a third top half finish under his tenure. Bottom after week 10 and still 15th with 12 games to go the manager could have been forgiven for planning for next season. Instead the Cheesers lost just three of the last 13 and were 90 minutes from eighth place. There is a decent squad developing at Le Stade de Fromage.

What happened to last year's Star Player? Danny Ings missed too much of the campaign with injury to win the award again.

Star Players? Tyrone Mings (two goals, 11 clean sheets) and Andrew Robertson (one goal, 12 clean sheets)

10th: Mega Buck Bandits (down three)

A first major cup final (ending in PCMT defeat) and Dave's second-best finish in the last 13 seasons. However, it was a drop from last year's top-half finish. Big names Antonio, Zaha and Aubameyang were ably backed up by new signings Jack Harrison and Luke Ayling but big-money Nathan Ake's injury robbed the Bandits of clean sheet possibilities.

What happened to last year's Star Player? Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a stop-start season and finished with ten goals.

Star Player? Wilfried Zaha (12 goals)

11th: Nil Satis Nisi Optimum (up four)

Eleventh place for Nil Satis represents Paul’s second best in 11 years. It was mostly driven by an excellent season for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and an even better one from Stuart Dallas who was one of the surprises of the season. There wasn't enough from the rest of the squad. Massive investments in Donny van De Beek and Josh King have yet to pay off.

What happened to last year's Star Player? Matt Doherty didn't get much of a look in.

Star Player? Stuart Dallas (seven goals, 11 cleans)

12th: YTFIB (down three)

If you'd have told Julian that he'd finish three places above Claymore he'd have taken it! It wasn’t quite such a strong season for Julian as 2019/20 but he finished outside the bottom four for the second season running. For the first time! Another manager that will need striking reinforcements if he doesn't want to be sucked back in to a basement battle.

What happened to last year's Star Player? Nick Pope held on to the award to make it three times in four seasons.

Star Player? Nick Pope (ten cleans)
